When T-Lazy-7 Ranch snowmobile driver Charles Chisholm arrives at a favorite scenic spot near the Maroon Bells mountain formation, one of Colorado's most-photographed scenes, outside Aspen, he enjoys feeding wild birds, not from a bird feeder but by hand. This is a gray jay, a songbird native to the American Rockies and colder reaches of Canada. In warmer seasons, these crafty birds store food for the winter in the crooks of trees. This one, thanks to Charles Chisholm, perhaps less than other jays in the valley
